"A brilliantly written and informative resource. Ethan’s insight into PDA and autism is remarkable - clear, authentic, and deeply moving. This book is a guiding light for young people, parents, and professionals alike. It fosters self-understanding, offers practical strategies, and helps readers feel truly seen. A small lifesaver."

—Brian, Autism Support Community

The PDA Effect: An Autistic Teenager’s Guide to Demand Avoidance is a compelling and essential resource for anyone seeking to understand Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) from the perspective of someone who lives with it every day.

Written by eighteen-year-old Ethan Knight, this book offers a rare and authentic insight into PDA — a profile on the autism spectrum characterised by an intense resistance to everyday demands and expectations. Drawing from his own life, Ethan shares what PDA feels like internally, how it affects decision-making, relationships, and daily routines, and what support actually helps.

Clear, compassionate, and grounded in lived experience, The PDA Effect is ideal for parents, educators, support workers, and friends of autistic individuals, as well as autistic readers who may see themselves reflected in its pages. Ethan’s voice brings depth and clarity to a condition that is often misunderstood, helping readers move beyond labels towards real empathy and connection.

Whether you’re just beginning to learn about PDA or have years of experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, this book provides practical insight and heartfelt guidance that makes a difference.
